STARRY SKIES

Since December last year I have been working with the team that brought you Shambala Festival (best summer music festival in the UK imho :-), to create a brand identity for a NEW, more child & family oriented version of the Shambala festival, called Starry Skies.
Above you can see some screenshots from the Starry Skies website.

POSTER:
This is the promotional poster for online use, for which I did the layout and typography, using Photoshop and Futura (an amusing sidenote - according to Wikipedia, Paul Renner, the designer of the typeface Futura 'was suspicious of abstract art and disliked many forms of modern culture, such as jazz, cinema, and dancing'):

MOCKUP:
This is a mockup I did early on, with a slightly different colour scheme and header to the final version:

HEADER DEVELOPMENT:
Scroll down to see the progression of the header from initial sketches to the final design, sketched out in graphite:

FOOTER:
This is the original drawing of the footer image, which can be horizontally repeated infinitely as a tile. Below you can see it in full colour, which was added digitally:

LOGO:
The Starry Skies logo, and a 'Wish You Were Here' banner which we were going to use on postcards:

FLAGS:
I have also design a series of flags which are being sewn by hand in Nepal to be used at the festival. I will post pictures once they are all sewn and ready and flying high on site!:
